Avoid Seed Oils When Possible
This practice is to minimize industrially produced seed oils, especially in packaged and fried foods, and use them only sparingly if at all. When fats are needed, the preference is for less processed options like olive oil, avocado oil, or expeller-pressed/organic versions. The rationale is to reduce exposure to highly processed oils that may oxidize more easily when heated and may be linked to inflammatory effects.

“I try to avoid them mostly because one, if you're avoiding seed oils, you're going to avoid a lot of the processed packaged foods that they come in... Two because I think that cooking them or heating them... is more of my concern because they are you know polyunsaturated fatty acids which are very prone to oxidation”
